Animals – the painted metal kind – are on their way downtown. A pet sculpture garden is expected to be ready at Maurice Ferré Park by December. A soccer field, playground and other art displays are among subsequent projects targeted for the park.
Miami City Commissioner Joe Carollo, the man behind the idea, told Miami Today that the new pet sculpture garden will be ready before Art Basel art-oriented visitors arrive in December, a convenient time for the garden of sculptures of dogs and cats between Biscayne Boulevard and Biscayne Bay to show off Miami artists.
